QUESTION 7
If you have $100K, and want to invest in assets A, B and C. Asset A has historical AVG return of 15%, asset B 20%, and asset C 10%, in what proportions of $100K would you allocate into assets A, B and C? i.e. Which scenario is most rational?
A > B > C
A > C > B
B > A > C
C >A > B
Question 15
Company 15 is considering undertaking a new project. The financial controller has
computed Net Present Value (NPV) of the project at two different discount rates.
The NPV at a discount rate of 12% is £4,700 positive and at a discount rate of 20%,
it is £7,400 negative. You are required to compute the Internal Rate of Return
(IRR) using linear interpolation or extrapolation.
The Internal Rate of Return of this project is which of the following:
A
23.1%
B
16.9%
C
15.1%
D
8.9%
Question 25
Jefferson International is trying to choose between the flowing two mutually exclusive design projects:
Year
Cash Flow (A)
Cash Flow (B)
0
-$79,000
-$12,500
1
18,500
5,800
2
39,600
21,800
3
48,700
25,600
The required rate of return is 9 percent. Project A has a profitability index of 1.3 and project B has a profitability index of 1.24. Which project should the firm accept and why? Choose the answer with the "best" reasoning.
Group of answer choices
Project A because it has a higher profitability index
Project B because it has a higher profitability index
Project A because it has a higher NPV
Project B because it has a higher NPV
Project B because it has a higher profitability index and NPV
